Green T.HE cast resin transformers After the new European Commission regulation (548/2014) came into force in July 2015, the eficiency standards required for transformers have become stricter. This means guaranteeing a considerable reduction in energy consumption, favouring a considerable cost saving and reducing CO2 emissions to the atmosphere. Legrand Green T.HE transformers, complying to standard EN 50588-1, are designed and manufactured in conformity with European Community regulation 548/2014, laying down the modes of application of the Directive on ecocompatible design 2009/125/CE.

REFERENCE STANDARDS Standard EN 50588-1 applies to three-phase transformers between 5 kVA and 40 MVA supplied with a frequency of 50 HZ and with maximum voltage per component (Um) greater than 1.1 kV but not greater than 36 kV.

Regulation 584/2014 sets out the obligatory requirements in the countries of the EU (28 nations) for the ecocompatible design of electric transformers with power greater than 1 kVA, used in electrical energy transmission and distribution networks.

4. PRODUCT OVERVIEW

25


CLASSIFICATION A cast resin transformer (CRT) is classiied on the basis of the value of the characteristic no-load (Po) and load (Pk) losses of the machine itself. More precisely, P0 losses are independent of the loads and remain constant for the whole time the transformer is connected to the electrical mains. Pk losses on the other hand only occur when a load is connected to the transformer and vary quadratically with the load itself.

The purchase price of a transformer represents only a marginal part of the total cost of ownership (TCO), while the operating cost (linked mainly to the losses) represents more than 80% of the total cost. Purchasing a transformer designed according to ecocompatible rules means gaining both a cost and an environmental advantage.

Eficient energy distribution

Power factor correction An alternating current electrical system, including loads such as transformers, motors, luorescent tube ballasts or any other load whose intensity is out of phase with respect to the voltage, consumes reactive energy. Energy suppliers can bill this reactive energy (expressed in kilovar/hour – kVArh) at the same rate as active energy. Reactive power thus leads to a greater consumption of power and an increased electricity bill.

POWER FACTOR By deinition the power factor of an electrical system (PF) is equal to the ratio of the active power P (kW) ÷ apparent power S (kVA). Active Power P (kW)

Power Factor = (PF)

Apparent Power S (kVA)

A power factor of 1 does not consume any reactive energy. Energy meters record the consumptions of active and reactive energy. Normally electricity suppliers use the term tg φ in their bill.

A good power factor is: ■ cos φ high (near 1) ■ or tg φ low (near 0) Cos φ and tg φ are joined by the following relation: 1 Cos φ = 1+ (tg φ)²

ADVANTAGES By supplying reactive energy on demand, Alpes Technologies capacitor banks offer the user the following advantages:

1) Increase of the power available in the power transformers EXAMPLE For a 1000 kVA transformer with cos φ = 0.75 and a 750 kW installation: by improving the cos φ to 0.96 an extra 210 kW (+28%) may be gained.

Power factor level cos φ

2) Limitation of the energy losses in the conductors due to the Joule effect considering the reduction of the power transported in the installation (limitation of the voltage drops). EXAMPLE For a 1000 kVA transformer with cos φ = 0.75 and a 750 kW installation: by improving the cos φ to 0.96 a current reduction of about 22% is obtained.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE Capacitor banks can improve the power factor of an electrical system, supplying it with part of the reactive energy it consumes. The capacitor is made up of two conducting parts (electrodes) separated by insulation. It has the ability, when it is subjected to a sinusoidal voltage, to dephase its load, thus its power (reactive capacitive), by 90° forwards with respect to the voltage. On the other hand, all other loads (motor, transformer, etc.) dephase their reactive component (load or reactive inductive power) by 90° backwards with respect to the voltage. The vectorial composition of these loads or reactive powers (inductive and capacitive) leads to a resulting load or reactive power less than that existing before the installation of capacitors. To simplify, the inductive loads (motor, transformer, etc...) consume reactive energy while the capacitors (capacitative loads) produce reactive energy.

UPS – Uninterruptible power supply

PROTECTION OF HIGH ENERGY EFFICIENCY SYSTEMS UPS systems condition power and store energy for critical mission structures (data centres, transmission centres and hospitals) and protect them against luctuations of voltage or frequency. They also supply autonomy or a temporary power supply to deal with any blackouts. A UPS requires energy to provide these functions. The eficiency of a UPS is measured as output power divided by input power, where the UPS consumes part of this power (self-consumption). The amount of energy consumed by the UPS represents the energy lost or ineficiency. UPS ineficiency can cause losses of up to 20% of the incoming mains power: a signiicant value which data centre operators, public utility companies and energy managers must always consider. The ineficiency of the UPS, which is necessary to protect critical mission loads of even medium size, can be quantiied in an annual waste of hundreds or even thousands of kilowatt hours.

THE ADVANTAGES OF LEGRAND UPS By installing high eficiency static continuity units (UPS) you can considerably reduce energy consumption with a consequent cost saving in the bill; a saving which increases considerably in the case of industry, hospitals and other structures which have high and constant energy consumption. Legrand UPS, which have always featured high performance but low power consumption (high energy eficiency), represent an excellent investment. In particular, the modular three-phase range (Trimod HE and Archimod HE) which, thanks to its high eficiency, allows you to obtain a considerable saving in life time costs.

34


L a a w w dates back more than 20 years, when the irst modular UPS was launched in 1993. From then on the continuous irmware development and the constant research activity in the ield of power and control hardware components mean that the reliability and system quality of Legrand UPS has improved continuously. On-going research, coupled with modern production methods, has allowed Legrand to propose a cutting-edge product with performance at the top of the market: eficiency certiied up to 96% and unity power factor.

kVA = kW POWER FACTOR

Trimod HE and Archimod HE, with high-yield components and structures which optimise space, are the ideal solution for advanced energy management and cost containment.

Eficient energy data centre

Overview Data centres consume a great deal of energy: 322 TWh in 2012, i.e. 1.8% of global energy consumption*.

ENERGY-INTENSIVE BUILDINGS For example: ■

a typical data centre consumes 10 to 100 times more energy per m² than a standard ofice building the consumption of a 10,000 m² data centre is the same as that of a town with 50,000 inhabitants over 10 years, the operating cost of a data centre is the same as its installation cost the electricity bill represents 10 to 15% of the operating cost

AN INCREASINGLY LARGE ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT The ecological footprint of data centres is constantly increasing: it is estimated that in the next 10 years there will be 30 times more data (90% of which will not be structured) and signiicantly more servers. At this rate, energy requirements could double within ive years. Reducing the carbon footprint (one of the main concerns of stakeholders) and improving the energy eficiency of data centres is therefore vital in order to reduce consumption and costs.

The building infrastructure currently represents close to half of the total energy consumption.

Eficient energy data centre

Legrand’s response OBJECTIVE: REDUCE THE PUE The PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) is an indicator for measuring the energy eficiency of a data centre by working out the ratio of the total consumption of the data centre to that of the computer and telecoms (IT) equipment. The Green Grid, an international consortium set up to improve the eficiency of data centre resources, has deined several PUE levels:

LEVEL 0 PUE

This measurement compares the amount of electricity entering the data centre with the amount of power consumed by the IT equipment. The new deinition speciies that the measurements must be taken during consumption peaks, and behind the UPS. Even if the measurements are increased to regular intervals, an energy eficiency ratio at maximum load is obtained, which is not very representative of the activity of the company.

NOTE The Green Grid and ISO/IEC are proposing four additional indicators to reine the assessment of the ecological footprint of a data centre. ■

■ ■

Basic PUE (level 1)

This measurement includes the level 0 requirements and stipulates conversion of all measurements into kilowatt-hour (kWh). It is more precise than level 0 because it also includes energy sources other than mains electricity. PUE1 is calculated over a 12-month period.

■ ■

Intermediate PUE (level 2)

This measurement includes the level 1 requirements. However, the IT consumption is measured at the PDUs (Power Distribution Units). A clear distinction is therefore made between the infrastructure and the IT equipment and it is easier to measure a pPUE (partial PUE).

For further information, go to www.thegreengrid.org

Advanced PUE (level 3)

This measurement includes the level 2 requirements. It reines them by requiring the IT consumption to be measured at device level.

THREE POSSIBLE ACTIONS TO REDUCE THE PUE: - optimising the cooling solutions - reducing power losses - making use of performance indicators

38

Green Energy Coeficient (GEC): this quantiies the proportion of renewable energy consumed by a data centre Energy Reuse Factor (ERF): this measures the amount of energy used outside the data centre Carbon Usage Effectiveness (CUE): this extrapolates a greenhouse gas emission volume based on the electricity consumption of the data centre Water Usage Effectiveness (WUE): this measures the amount of water used in the data centre

A data centre with optimum eficiency will be PUE1, whereas the average global PUE of a data centre is between 1.8 and 1.89 (source: Uptime Institute survey 2012). Reducing this is therefore a priority in order to ensure that the infrastructure provides ever-higher performance.

AVERAGAE GLOBAL PUE


Eficient energy data centre

Optimise the cooling solution Cooling systems are the main source of consumption in a data centre. To reduce energy consumption, the consumption by the server cooling systems must all be reduced. This involves: ■ ■

an optimised design of the white room selecting the right cooling solutions

To select the most appropriate solutions, it is necessary, irst of all, to know the class of data centre concerned. These solutions will then facilitate the implementation of a global cooling system called free cooling. In the context of a free cooling installation, several Legrand cooling solutions for the secondary circuit can be used to optimise the air conditioning.

ISOLATION OF THE HOT AIR FROM THE COLD AIR Hot corridor/cold corridor solutions These consist of separating hot and cold corridors for easier, optimised air distribution. Cold corridor solutions In addition to simply separating the air lows by creating dedicated corridors, the cold corridor enables the corridors to be contained for optimised cooling. The hot air and cold air are separated when the room is designed, using roofs, panels and doors (at the entrance and exit). This solution effectively reduces the energy consumption of the air conditioning units (visible reduction via the air conditioning unit consumption reports). The cold corridor provides an average of 30% energy savings.

They comply with two major thermodynamic principles: ■

Isolation of the hot air from the cold air This enables optimum management of air leaks and increases the cooling capacity Optimisation of the cold air circuit Objective: minimise the air friction losses

THE LEGRAND ADVANTAGE Thanks to its worldwide network of partners, Legrand supports you during the decisive stages of your project: ■

selection of the right solutions when deining the white room’s design

sizing of the cooling solution in relation to the power of the servers

OPTIMISATION OF THE COLD AIR CIRCUIT Cooling the room

This is done using CRAC (Computer Room Air Conditioning) units. Traditionally, the cold air is sent into the false loor at a slightly higher pressure and exits via perforated tiles in the Cold Corridor. The hot air is evacuated in the hot corridor and reprocessed by the unit. Principle of the room cooling system

Free cooling consists of cooling a building by ventilation using the free energy of the external air or water when it is at a temperature below the required internal conditions. This system also reduces the need to use cooling units, which leads to a reduction in energy bills and improved eficiency of the whole installation (PUE and carbon footprint).

The class (A1 to A4) of a data centre, deined by the ASHRAE standard, is assigned according to the equipment in the data centre and its speciic environmental features.

Free cooling includes overall management solutions via the primary cooling circuit and targeted management solutions in the white room via the secondary cooling circuit. Air

OPTIMISATION OF THE COLD AIR CIRCUIT (continued) Row-based cooling solutions

These cooling solutions integrated in the corridor (in or between the cabinets) reduce the complexity of the installation and provide cooling as close as possible to the server. Particularly suitable for high density solutions or rooms without false loors, these solutions optimise the air low so that it is as short as possible, which results in lower losses.

The H2O system

Commonly called a chilled water system, it uses water for exchanging thermal energy between the secondary system and the primary outdoor system. When the system is running outside, a water/glycol mixture is used as a coolant to prevent freezing. The system can be designed as a single loop system avoiding an extra heat exchanger and therefore maximizing the capability of free cooling. The water infrastructure is commonly managed as a circuit for a whole room or is part of a complete building.

Example of H20 in Cold corridor

The Direct Expansion (DX) system

In this direct expansion system, the coolant in the refrigerating machine circulates in the exchangers in contact with the internal air (evaporator) and the external air (air condenser). This is a closed circuit in which each indoor unit is associated with one outdoor unit.

Example of DX in closed loop

Eficient energy data centre | Air conditioning

Reduce power losses The objective is to reduce power losses so as to increase the eficiency of the electrical infrastructure. Power losses connected with energy conversion and UPS currently represent around 10% of the total energy consumption of a data centre, where the cooling alone represents 32%. Given the efforts made with regard to cooling, particularly through designs enabling the use of free cooling, these power losses will account for a large part of the data centre’s energy bill.

In order to increase the eficiency of the electrical infrastructure, it is therefore necessary to look into solutions that will reduce this percentage, in particular via the power supply and distribution systems. Various products, providing high performance installations, improve the quality of the energy and limit power losses, thus reducing the environmental footprint:

Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)

These enable the power demand to be as close as possible to the actual requirements. ■

Green T.HE HV/LV transformers

NOTE The reduction of power losses must be considered on a daily basis, via careful management of the energy requirements. Those responsible for operating a data centre must therefore pay attention to the low and quality of the incoming energy, in order to adapt the power demand to the actual requirements of the data centre and ensure optimum use of the power received. As the various power devices operate eficiently at low load conditions (a transformer used at 10% of its capacity is three times less eficient than at 60% of its capacity, likewise for inverters and air conditioning units), their energy management will be optimised and power losses limited.

Eficient energy data centre

Environmental sensor MONITOR YOUR DATA CENTRE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING SOLUTIONS Raritan environmental solutions feature sensors for monitoring temperature, humidity, airlow, air pressure, water/leaks, contact closures, motion around a cabinet and vibration. Environment data is instantly sent to Power IQ® DCIM monitoring software to provide a complete picture of data centre conditions at the rack, aisle and facility level while alerting operators to risks or potential threats in real-time and revealing trends over time.

The sensors are deployed as plug-and-play options for the PX intelligent rack PDU series, EMX rack controllers, PX inline meters, rack transfer switches and branch circuit monitors. Raritan’s environmental sensors make it easy to identify hot spots, cool equipment, prevent downtime and maintain facility security.

WHY ARE ENVIRONMENT SENSORS USED IN ALL MODERN DATA CENTRES? Environmental sensors are an easy to install, cost-effective way to reduce energy costs, improve reliability and increase capacity for future data centre growth. By using environmental sensors you can optimise your data centre ecosystem to ensure that you are meeting equipment guidelines, reducing operational costs, deferring capital investments, and improving your PUE. The major energy savings have already been made by increasing server inlet temperatures from 18°C to 25°C. This has resulted in a dramatic reduction in PUE, the consequence of this action is a higher risk environment within the whole space which can be mitigated through granular monitoring and alarming of environmental factors. 48


SENSORS IN YOUR DATA CENTRE

Vibration The DX-VBR detects vibrations, such as from earthquakes or damaged fans, along three axes (x, y, z).

Rack inlet temperature and humidity The DPX2-T3H1 strings together 3 sensor heads, making it easy to mount them at the bottom, middle, and top of the cool air inlet side as per ASHRAE1 guidelines.

Temperature The DPX3-T1H1 can be placed at the front or rear of the rack to monitor cool air entering and/or hot air being expelled, and ensure proper containment.2

Airlow The DPX-AF1 can meter airlow in plenum space such as under a raised loor, or just above the perforated tiles.

Data Centre Containment Curtain Webcam

Proximity The DX-PIR detects motion around a cabinet.

Differential air pressure The DPX-T1DP1 meters differential air pressure above and below a raised loor, or between hot aisles and cold aisles to prevent thermal leaks.

Water/leak The DPX-WSF-KIT, DPX-WSC-35-KIT, and DPX-WSC-70-KIT sensors monitor leaks on the loor, around an area, on liquid cooled racks, and can detect condensation.

Mini temperature The DPX-T1-MINI is a single temperature sensor designed to plug directly into a PX intelligent rack PDU’s RJ-12 port. Contact closure The DPX-CC2-TR dual contact closure is used with third-party sensors such as smoke detectors, magnetic door locks, or to trigger webcams whenever a cabinet door is opened. DX-PD2C5 has active dry contacts with 12 V power to support door locks and contact closures for third-party sensors.

Measure, report status and command MEASURE, REPORT STATUS AND COMMAND The Legrand measurement and supervision system has been developed with the aim of managing energy consumption inside the building, guaranteeing reliability and continuity of service, for maximum system eficiency.

SUPERVISION Supervision is a computerised control and monitoring technique for processes. In the measurement ield, it is used as an umbrella term for all the aforementioned functions (display, monitor, control, set parameters, program). Supervision concerns acquisition of data (measurements, alarms, status feedback, etc.) and process control (circuit breaker remote control, etc.). A supervision system helps control and optimise energy consumption at any time on the whole of the electrical network. It monitors all the equipment with respect to safety, control, speed of intervention and continuity of service. Data retrieved concerning the equipment operating status, distributed power measurements and consumption can be exploited in order to set up a technical energy management solution.

The Legrand MEASUREMENT and SUPERVISION system allows you to display all the electrical system parameters simply and immediately. AN INTUITIVE DISPLAY, ACCESSIBLE TO ALL Legrand meets its customers' needs with a graphic interface which is easy and understandable even for unqualiied people.

LB PLUS DATA for DALI distribution in industrial environments LB PLUS DATA BUSBAR FOR INDUSTRIAL LIGHTING MANAGEMENT The management of artiicial light is an essential element to ensure both better eficiency and energy savings. It is with these two objectives in mind that LB Plus Data was conceived. LB Plus Data is a lighting busbar system with an internal BUS that can be used for the management of DALI or 1-10V protocol based lighting. LB Plus is a range of busbars for lighting from 25 to 63 A. It is extremely lexible, with 10, 16 and 25 A tap-off plugs, to cater for any development. The LB Plus Data version has a BUS inside which makes the busbar the ideal solution for DALI lighting management.

The savings achievable with LB PLUS DATA ■

Lighting design: 3 areas with 18 luminaires in each, fed from a standard lighting busbar. Each luminaire is made up of 2 x 58 W luorescent tubes. Total installed power: 6.3 KW.

Original installation: Working days per year: 240 Operating hours per day: 16 (in 2 shifts). All lights fully on: - for 8 hours per day (20 days per month, for 5 months of the year) - for 16 hours per day (20 days per month, for 7 months of the year).

58

The new DALI installation: Standard lighting busbar upgraded to LB Plus Data and DALI control introduced. The area is split into 3 separate zones.

Each zone is controlled by motion sensors with dimming levels automatically adjusted, depending upon the contribution of natural daylight (daylight linking).

RESULTING ENERGY SAVINGS ■

The loading area is only lit when used, which is for 4 hours per day (2 loading operations taking 2 hours each) The galvanic processing area is fully automated and requires no operators; this area is usually only lit for 4 hours per day (during the loading operation) The unloading area is only lit when used, which is used for 2 hours per day (4 unloading operations taking 2 an hour each).

Active energy management | Lighting controls

Controlling any light source, any building, any space ENERGY IS A LIMITED RESOURCE Around 20% of the world’s electricity is used for lighting. Much of it is wasted. Unoccupied ofices, factories and public spaces often remain brightly lit, squandering money and energy. It is bad for the bottom line – and the environment. Yet there is a solution.

INNOVATION AND QUALITY With our commitment to innovation, we hold a number of patents. We have a relentless focus on quality and reliability.

ANY LIGHT SOURCE, ANY BUILDING, ANY SPACE From a sports stadium to a CEO’s boardroom – we work with both private companies and public sector organisations. Our UK-based production team works to high quality standards, using advanced production techniques. We are so conident of our quality and testing regime that we offer a ive-year warranty across the CP Electronics range. Our products are backed by dedicated sales, aftersales and technical support teams: on site, on the phone and online. The 2015 Paris Agreement encouraged leaders to focus on climate change, but the reality is that wasting energy costs us all.


Active energy management | Lighting controls

Standalone detectors A presence detector monitors the detection zone for occupancy; if a person is sensed then the detector will automatically turn the lighting on. When the area is vacated, the lighting will turn off after a preset time delay. Most of our PIR sensors and microwave sensors have a built in light level (lux) sensor which will keep the lighting off if there is enough natural light available. Controlling lighting with a presence detector can save up to 60% of lighting energy costs dependent on occupancy behaviour and the amount of natural light available.

HVAC control ZONE TEMPERATURE CONTROL: WHAT IS IT AND HOW DOES IT WORK? A modern building must have an eficient heating and air conditioning system, which guarantees energy saving, while maintaining comfort for the occupants at the same time. The Legrand zone temperature control system is a fundamental element which allows energy savings of up to 30%. By dividing the building into separately controlled zones you can: ■ manage the comfort temperature only when people are present ■ manage the artiicial heating or cooling only when it is really necessary, as a function of the contribution of direct sunlight. For example, in the cold season rooms exposed to direct sunlight require less energy for heating than those not exposed to the sun.

Real world results with PDUs CISCO SAVES $8.6M ANNUALLY BY DEPLOYING INTELLIGENT PDUs In 2011, when Cisco sought to reduce its energy consumption and costs, its labs were an obvious target: they accounted for 60% of the company’s total power use, yet occupied only about 10% of its real-estate space. The labs consumed more than 900MWh of power a year, had a combined annual electricity bill of more than $80M, and were the single largest source of operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for the company.

The two-year initiative was completed in July 2013. Though the company saved $9million dollars total, over $8.6 million in savings alone were from intelligent PDUs deployed in all new, existing and retroit labs. One key feature that allowed the company to save big was having the ability to power off lab equipment while not in use.

EBAY’S NEW DATA CENTRES ARE TWICE AS RELIABLE AND 50% LESS EXPENSIVE TO OPERATE As one of the world’s largest Internet commerce platforms, eBay demands extreme data centre reliability; any downtime would impact transactions worth more than $2,000 a second. Thus its global data centre team must excel simultaneously in delivering uptime and lexibility, while keeping costs down – a truly complex challenge, requiring constant innovation to be successful. To enable maximum savings, eBay deployed intelligent rack PDUs that provide precise energy consumption data for every single power supply, of every single server.

This information passes upstream to eBay’s building management and asset tracking systems in real-time, achieving what Green Grid terms PUE Category 3 (or PUE3) monitoring. “[Intelligent PDUs] can provide me with the precision required to calculate my true operational costs for every server, down to the last penny,” says Dean Nelson, eBay’s Senior Director of Data Centre Strategy and Operations.
